[Confirmed] Overpowered Stingray Bubble Returns to PUBG Mobile!

Krafton has officially confirmed that the controversial Gleaming Stingray's Bubble skill will return in an upcoming patch, reversing its sudden removal during the Ocean Odyssey cycle. As originally reported by Reddit PUBGMobile, community patch notes revealed that developers are reinstating the ability after players argued the themed mode felt hollow without its signature mechanic. The Gleaming Stingray originally dominated matches because it seamlessly navigated land, sea, and air while encasing enemy squads in inescapable bubbles.

However, its return has ignited ferocious debate across the ranked community. While casual players missed the high-flying chaos, competitive rank-pushers warned that unadjusted crowd control abilities ruin end-game circles, much like recent game-breaking anomalies such as the [PUBG Mobile 300m Map Desync Bug Ruins Ranked Matches [Watch]](/news/pubg-mobile-300m-map-desync-alignment-bug). Forum discussions suggest Krafton must implement strict limits, including disablement of offensive gunfire while bubbling targets, reduced trap durations, and extended cooldown timers. Without these critical guardrails, players fear the Stingray will once again break lobby balance.
